Commander Discussion / Re: Where do you prefer to play Commander online?

« on: June 16, 2022, 04:26:08 pm »

I use xmage (http://xmage.de/). Entirely free even though you have to download the app, and available on Windows/Mac/Linux too !
What sets it apart in my opinion is the possibility to play against IA, so I mainly use it to test deck before comitting to buy cards or decks.

I guess I'm the only oddball that loves zombies. 

Here with you for the zombie love !
They have my vote because mono-black, mass resurrection flavor and graveyard fun

There's also the edh wiki :
https://edhwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

A database with useful informations concerning color combinations, strategies, archetypes, or deckbuilding vocabulary (ramp, wipe, etc.).

If you play commander, there is also a helpful wiki here :
https://edhwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

It is less complete than mtgfandom in terms of general vocabulary, but covers deck archetypes, colors and deckbuilding terms (such as ramp) really well.

I'll playtest it, thanks *

General Magic / Re: Let's collect some bad/wrong translated cards

« on: November 13, 2020, 12:44:30 pm »

To give other examples of badly translated cards (although they have little impact on gameplay and are quite well-known, at least among French players) :

In French, the words for "fisherman" and "sinner" are really close, the only difference being an accent (respectively "pêcheur" and "pécheur").
Well, the French printed version of Descent upon the Sinful from Shadow over Innistrad used the wrong word, literally meaning Descent upon the Fishermen.

More annoying, there is at least one case where two different cards used the same name : both Disallow and the "failure" part from Failure//Comply were translated as "Refus". I actually had a game where both cards were played, we had a good laugh.

Last one I know of, the creature types Serpent and Snake were both translated to "Serpent", meaning that Whelming Wave and other sea-creatures related cards would also work on snakes. This was changed recently as Serpent is now translated as "Serpent de mer" (sea serpent).

Yeah, turns out forcing people to discard 1 when they have 7+ cards in hand is not very relevant


Revision 3

Added/removed cards:
-1 Painful Quandary
+1 Wound Reflection

Hey,
Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure whether it is an official ruling or not, but my playgroup usually allows people to play hybrid cards with Commanders that have only one of the colors in their identity (eg. Spiteful visions in any deck that has red OR black in its color identity).
I feel it is more faithful to the spirit of hybrid mana and differentiates hybrid from multicolor cards.

Commander Discussion / Re: Zendikar Rising- what cards for which decks?

« on: September 10, 2020, 04:58:18 pm »

I want to try Ancient Greenwarden in Omnath, Locus of Rage. Though I feel like it's going to eat so much removal that I'll never get to have it and Omnath at the same time on the field.

Demon's Disciple is not very exciting but might go in my Meren deck.

Skyclave Relic in Budget Brudiclad^TM because why not.

I would love to do something with Charix, the Raging Isle too. I like the design but don't have inspiration for it atm :/ I take suggestions !

I was never really into Zendikar theme/design, so I think I'll mostly stay aside from this set and save for Commander Legends

General Magic / Re: Zendikar Rising preview conversation

I don't know who enters the new cards in the preview section, but props for "Get Monch'd" and "Slurp Slurp Gulp", that's on point

Hey,

To try to answer you comments:
Bone Miser lets you draw or do other things when you discard. It's the only new one that comes to my mind since you already have Bag of Holdings.

I kinda like the name so will not suggest a new one :-P

And for the zombie infestation, sadly you will only have one zombie. It is an activated activity for which you have to pay the cost for each activation. Sooo there is no benefits in having several in play !

Commander Discussion / Re: Notes from Command Fest online Commander product panel hosted by Gavin

To add a bit to what WWolfe summed bit, I believe Gavin said that the price of Commander Legends would be more than normal boosters, but also less than Masters products.

Hi,
If you find that Berserk works well for you, Fatal Frenzy does the same thing (although more expensively) in red

Commander Deck Reviews / Re: Every Esper Deck Ever Primer

« on: August 19, 2020, 04:31:47 pm »

Hey, thanks for putting this useful resource together. That's 3/4 of any Esper deck already assembled, neat

I would consider myself by no means an Esper specialist, but could you develop why you put both Return to Dust AND All that Glitters ? I would have intuitively replaced one of them (probably RtD) by some board wipe or graveyard hate, especially considering that your list doesn't have any yet.

@CleanBelwas : Lol, is "a new staple that people overreact about" still a conjecture at this point ?

I'd really like some more Multiplayer matter cards, such as Monarch or Will of the council too !
